"Still," Raleigh said with a sitter of shrug. "It can't be the easiest thing in the world, is all." After he said that truth doesn't have a place in California, that it's simpler... She thinks for a minute.

Would she give up Siren Cove? In a minute, if she knew her friends would be alright. If she knew that she could get away to where people didn't think about whether they'd all drunk a magical potion that would make them fly or purple or straight up hallucinate-- and that it would be normal...

"I guess I can see the appeal," she admitted, her fingers playing absentmindedly in the sand. "Just... Being yourself, right? The vet, and not all the other stuff?" Raleigh didn't know the extent of what he could do, but at the very least she knew he could heal injuries -- he'd done it for her.

"Oh! Awesome, I totally should have realized you knew a guy," she teased with a laugh, leaning to the side to bump his arm with hers. "So you being here a week -- what day would work for you to introduce us? I'm always on the lookout for handsome veterinarians, since that's the number one priority. The second one, I guess the 'smarts' part of it can manage."
